12 Best Winter Love Songs That Will Keep You Warm and Cozy
When my husband and I first started dating, we bonded over music.
But not just any music. Specifically, we had a bit of an obsession with love songs.
To be clear, I’m not talking about Celine Dion and Mariah Carey. Nothing like the cheesy stuff you’d find on a list of the greatest love songs of all time.
What we couldn’t get enough of were unknown love songs.
As an ongoing love letter to each other, we started a love songs playlist. Years later, we’re still adding to it.
Lately, we’ve been on the hunt for romantic holiday songs to get our playlist in the Christmas spirit.
12 Winter Love Songs for Your Holiday Playlist
Here are the best unknown love songs we found for your holiday playlist. Some mention Christmas, but we focused on finding songs that conjure up cozy winter images—perfect for playing in the background while you snuggle by the fire with your honey.
Side note: This playlist makes the perfect heartfelt homemade holiday gift for your spouse or partner.
Just buy a few of the holiday love songs listed below (maybe mix in some of The 12 Best Christmas Songs You’ve Never Heard), and follow my instructions on how to share a playlist. Then wrap your playlist in something festive, and you’re done!
